iPhone 15 is coming next month, and multiple rumors suggest Apple will finally switch from its proprietary Lightning connector to…
When does USB-D come out?
When they need a new standard to replace all the disparate current ones.

It definitely came out.
How many times will you need to be told, micro-usb does not work with regular usb.
it’s good that Saudi Arabia did this but its hard to feel good about such a screwed up, journalist murdering country.
So like Hotler building the Autobahn?
These laws are fine until something better than c comes out. Then we have to wait for laws to be updated to make changes. We all know how slow government moves.
That kind of things are not wrote as laws. What they usually do, is wrote a law creating a regulatory body, or given the power to an existing one, that can determine how it works. So, when new technologies come around, the regulator just need to update the regulations without the need of a new law.
USB-C is still easier than Lightning which I feel is the point?
Watch America have Elon develop a new USB that only Americans use. (But really it’s just a USB-c that looks like weird sci-fi.)
This article has nothing to do with the country or person you mentioned…
…no shit Post Nazi. Why can’t people mention USA, or EU or whatever country?
People are talking about USB c and countries… That’s on topic… That’s ITT.
So what’s your issue?
Can you go back to reddit?
What’s your problem?
You seem to be creating things to be angry about and then get upset when others are not.
So far, nothing I’ve ever owned has had a C connector, I have two computers with c ports, but nothing to plug in to them. Also, does the thunderbolt look like the USBc? If you plug in a thunderbolt device into a USBc, does it work or burn out the port?
Just about everything except truly basement-tier China tech sitting in warehouses has C now so you’ll soon be glad to have the ports.
USB C is a form factor (pretty little reversible oval cable). Thunderbolt is a protocol and yes it uses USB C for the form factor. Other protocols on USB C cabling include 2.0 (ancient speed, used for charging only these days), 3.1 (old speed) 3.2 (slightly old but also not, it’s weird, and most common nowadays), and USB4 (which is newest and fast, but not quite as fast as TB). Decent rule of thumb is USB4 will always be one step behind Thunderbolt in speed (currently ~80gbps vs 40gbps in USB4).
Lastly, any proper spec cable will negotiate the best, safest power transfer between chargers and devices. So just don’t buy complete junk, read a couple reviews, you’ll almost certainly be fine.
2.0 (ancient speed, used for charging only these days)
And for uploading the firmware into nearly every small device you have that has a microcontroller with some flash memory on it. They still use TTL serial, so a USB 2.0 to TTL serial adapter is often used. It’s also still widely in use for, again, programming of things like commercial/industrial fire/burglar alarm panels.
Often, things we consider “old” in the consumer space go on to live for decades just fine in the industrial/commercial space.
Iirc thunderbolt looks like usb-c and it even works with usb-c, you just won’t get the extra bandwidth and some devices won’t work properly.
This is a problem though. Everyone demanding usb-c is because they want thing to “just work” with one plug, but it wont. You think grandma knows that her usb-c and thunderbolt are completely different?
